The San Rafael Fire Department will be conducting vegetation work in San Rafael along public roads and right of ways as a part of a Measure C funded Evacuation Route Project.
The City of San Rafael is part of the Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority (MWPA). In 2020, Marin County voters passed special tax Measure C, which established a Joint Powers Authority, the MWPA, to fund and oversee proactive state-of-the-art wildfire prevention and preparedness efforts within the County. The purpose of the project is to reduce excessive fuels and fire hazardous vegetation along public roadways and evacuation routes. The project will also improve access by local fire departments in the event of an emergency. Work will begin along narrow roadways off of Point San Pedro Road on January 14th. Subsequent work will occur throughout the City at locations with vegetation hazards. This project focuses on bolstering roadways that are steep, narrow, and have the potential to be used as an evacuation route in the event of an emergency. Please be aware of changes to traffic flow, flaggers, and workers along roadways.
